ps. note to self re: new year's eve
Lesson learned the hard way to keep in mind for next year: Do not even think that you will be able to just pop over to the grocery and/or liquor store to get last minute supplies right before you leave. And if you must go to the store, do not take a car, nor plan to meet anyone in a grocery and/or liquor store parking lot, no matter how deserted they are on every other day of the year. This is especially true if you are meeting in the parking lot of the Ottawa LCBO that is closest to the bridge to Hull and all the SAQs in Quebec are closed due to a labour strike. The first five times you drive around the block and parking lot you will probably be fine and able to keep up your fake zen attitude, but then the sixth you will inexplicably have a meltdown when the Brinks truck gets stuck on the ice and you almost hit some pedestrians who zig zag in front of you without warning and you see a car that is selfishly parked over two parking spaces and you are traffic jammed in a parking lot for heaven's sake and it's probably been 10 minutes since you crawled forward an inch and the car in front of you keeps trying to reverse and turn around even though there is absolutely no room for it and the car behind you starts honking.

"The mind of the thoroughly well informed [person] is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, and everything priced above its proper value."
